<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Please Vote For Me\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a documentary filmed in Wuhan, China. For the first time ever, the students in grade three at Evergreen Primary School in Wuhan, China, have been asked to elect a class monitor. Traditionally appointed by the teacher, the class monitor holds a powerful position, helping to control the students, keeping them on task and doling out punishment to those who disobey. The film follows the candidates in their first immersion into democracy including campaigning and then the election. Will democracy work in China? The film is shown as part of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Independent Lens\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on PBS.<\/p>\n
